Learn here the TRUTH about PSORIASIS IS IT A SKIN 01 SEASE or INTERNAL? captive. Linda, daughter of the late privateer, Edward Mansfield, is also a scheming wench. For she has stolen the treasure out from under her protector, Pirate Henry Morgan, and smuggled it aboard ship. She plans to marry the captain, but finds her plans must be changed when she sees him dangling from the rigging with a knife through his mid-section. Blackbeard's work — naturally. Linda is at her wit's end until she meets Keith Andes, a doctor, brought aboard ship to remove a bullet from the Pirate's neck. Andes is a government agent, but soon falls for Linda's charms and the two plot their escape. There's wild seafaring escapes, bloody encounters with mate William Bendix, etc., but Blackbeard finds his come-uppance by being buried up to his neck in sand and slowly drowned by the approaching tide. It's gruesome but gripping, and it provides Linda Darnell with some gorgeous footage (the film's in Technicolor), gives Bendix a chance for a solid characterization, and further .aides Keith Andes' career as a romantic star. Meet Me At The Fair Reform and romance — UniversalInternational Dan Dailey, as Dr. Tilbee, maker of that wonder medicine that will get rid of everything from hang nails to a talkative mother-in-law, and his assistant, "Scat Man" Crothers, are enjoying a lively business with then one -wagon medicine show. That is until Chet Allen, 13-year-old orphan, runs away from the Springville Detention Home and hitches WHAT HOLLYWOOD ITSELF IS TALKING ABOUT (CONTINUED FROM PACE 10) Those great kids, Marge and Gower Champion headed straight for a personal appearance tour of the Far East when they finished ''Give A Girl A Break" at MGM. They'll go all over that part of the world before they get back to these here shores. * * * Another married couple with itchy feet — Cary Grant and Betsy Drake — left for a loafing vacation aboard a Norwegian freighter that will take them just about all over the world. When they finally become landlubbers again they'll meet Producer Howard Hawks in Tangiers and talk about Cary making a picture. This ought .to bring him back to complete health, suntan, and his handsome self. * * * Jeff Chandler unwittingly caused quite a situation, making "Sioux Uprising" for U-l. Seems an Indian named Frank Lo-ho was hired for the movie because he was a real good Indian type. So, the Technicolor cameras picked him up as being much lighterskinned than Jeff. Makeup men had to smear a lot of copper paint on the red man to make him match paleface Chandler. Joan Fontaine and Collier Young got married amid quite a hassle of not having their marriage license when they showed up in Northern California for the ceremony. Absent from the wedding was Joan's sis, Olivia de Havilland — but they have since patched up their childish feud. About the same time, Ida Lupino, Collie's ex, and her present husband, Howard Duff, were occupying Joan's apartment in Paris. They're all good friends, as you can plainly see. When Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis finished the magic picture, "Houdini," at Paramount they got their first real vacation— six weeks of it — and headed promptly for the gay and glittering New York. Janet was so exhausted that she got an excuse from her doctor saying if she didn't get a rest she'd have the vapors and wouldn't be able to work anyway. * * * All the lucky Hollywooders who went East recently couldn't wait to grab tickets for the Bette Davis musical revue "Two's Company." Reports: the gal's just terrific in her first stage appearance in years and years. a ride with them. From then on Dan gets involved with a welfare representative, played convincingly by Diana Lynn, and a bunch of crooked politicians who set a trap to catch him for kidnapping and thereby hush-up the stories of their making off with the detention home funds. Eventually Dan is able to expose them and they're run out of town. Carole Mathews does a lively song and dance number with Dan in this Technicolor film and proves she'd make a terrific partner for him in musicals. Stop You're Killing Me Corpses galore — Warner Bros. The year is 1933, the place New York ' City, and the occasion celebrating the end of Prohibition. Everyone seems to j be celebrating except Broderick Crawford and his wife, played by Claire Trevor. They and their "needled beer" will soon be a thing of the past, and they I can already see their bankroll scurrying down the drain. At the exact moment when the banks are crying for their money, daughter Mary (Virginia Gibson) returns from a European finishing school to announce she has fallen in love with playboy Bill Hayes. The rest of the film is a slap-happy hodgepodge of events showing Brod and Claire's vain attempts to be elite society while keeping the bankers out of sight. The film, based on Damon Runyon's characters, was produced by Louis Edelman and directed by Roy Del Ruth. Its fast-action and complications get confusing but the final clinch provides the customary happy ending.
